"What? Zhang Chu's new book sold almost 40,000 copies on the first day?"

"It's really fake!"

In the resort on the outskirts of Yanjing, several suddenly raised volumes suddenly sounded.

This is a private gathering of a group of writers, everyone takes advantage of the National Day to get together to have fun, exchange or something is secondary, the focus is on playing.

The profession of a writer is no different, and if they write full-time, then their life circle will be very narrow, and in addition to their relatives and original friends, these peers will remain.

Coming out to play under the banner of literary exchange is the real purpose!

Mao Haoyu looked at the report on his phone, he turned his head to Xu Yuan on the side and said, "Old Xu, your new book doesn't seem to be as good as Zhang Chu, a newcomer." ”

Xu Yuan's old face turned dark, this is completely revealing people's scars!

His new book was also launched on the National Day, and the sales momentum of this long-form fantasy series called "Legend of the Heavenly Demon" was quite ideal, relying on the influence of Xu Yuan's previous works and many friends to promote it in turn, and sold 29,000 copies on the first day.

This number is indeed a big seller for many writers, and I originally thought that there would be no new books higher than this during the National Day.

"The Legend of the Heavenly Demon", which ranked tenth, met "Journey to the West Diary", which ranked seventh, and was directly crushed!

"Zhang Chu's book doesn't sell much, and the electronic sales are just higher. Xu Yuan explained, "It is estimated that the downward momentum will be much faster." ”

On the single-day sales list, only these two new books rushed to the top ten, plus another "Zodiac" that has been in the top five for a long time, these three works are the only seedlings in the big literary category.

The remaining seven books are not all literary, but "Speaking English (30 Days of Easy and Quick Speaking)", "Must Read When Opening a Shop", "Comprehensively and Strictly Governing the Party Face to Face", "The Seven Years of the No. 1 Chief", "World Knowledge - Atlas", "The Chief's Important Speech Reader", "Little C's Happiness Lesson for Women" and "Learn to Talk to Me".

It is very difficult for pure literature to rush to the top of the list, but fortunately, Zhang Chu and Xu Yuan both write fantasy categories.

Especially Zhang Chu's "Journey to the West Diary" was originally based on the national-level super IP "Journey to the West", and then coupled with the readers accumulated by the free serialization on the Internet, it is normal for the first day to be high.

Of course, Xu Yuan is not simple, he has been engaged in writing for more than ten years, and every book can cause a sensation, here he just finished writing the tenth part of "The Legend of the Dragon God", and there is the first part of "The Legend of the Heavenly Demon".

This year's works are the same as movie works, and only by writing sequels can you make money!

"Hahaha, Lao Xu, support your counterattack. ”

"Anyway, the sales of books on the National Day are quite good, and the children's books that are smoky in the back, do you buy books for your children as soon as you have a holiday this year?"

Xu Yuan didn't have a bottom in his heart at this time, the gap between the top ten was not big, and "Speaking English", which was ranked first, didn't know what effect it had and sold 50,000 copies a day.

"Even if you can't get the first place in the overall list, at least you have to get the first place in the category list of literary works, which shouldn't be difficult for Lao Xu. ”

The friends around him are all coaxing, and from a reasonable point of view, these people feel that there is no suspense in Xu Yuan's "Legend of the Heavenly Demon".

……

It is not only Xu Yuan who wants to compete for the honor of the weekly champion.

Nanhai Publishing Company and Menglong Culture Media also need a champion to boost morale, after all, Zhang Chu has published so many works, and he has never even won a championship.

According to the sales recognized by the publishing industry, it is not difficult to get the top spot in the single-day sales list, and you only need to do a large-scale national promotion to get it.

The difficulty is the weekly list, it is not easy to stabilize sales in a week, just 52 weeks in a year, theoretically a maximum of 52 weekly crowns.

Of course, the difficulty of the monthly list and the annual list is at the level of nightmare and hell, it is completely a fight between immortals, and ordinary writers don't even think about it!

Zhou Kang does not expect to win the monthly list and the annual champion in a short time, he only hopes to take advantage of the National Day to grab a sales weekly crown, so that he can be the sales champion when he is promoted in the future.

With Zhou Guan, it can be regarded as a real rise!

"Lao Li, do you think "Journey to the West Diary" can win the championship? There are too many other messy books, and I can't see a few in the top ten. Zhou Kang had never had such an idea before, but now that he is getting closer and closer to the goal, he has such worries.

Li Bo, who had been working overtime for seven days on the National Day, yawned and replied without sincerity at all: "The gap is not big, everyone has a chance!"

Is there anything else you can do to boost sales now?

Zhou Kang wanted to make a big news, but he didn't know how to do it.

……

It is said that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Gu Xinxue and Zhou Kang are scratching their scalps, but Zhang Chu is having fun in Sichuan and Shu.

On the train from Rongcheng to Leshan, Zhang Chu opened his mobile phone and shared a few rolling photos he took at the giant panda base.

Even if there are so many people, it is enough to see those round black and white pandas.

"Up two places yesterday?"

Zhang Chu said with some surprise, he thought that No. 1 was the highest point, but who knew that No. 2's ranking had risen from seventh to fifth, but the sales volume had only increased a little bit, selling 41,000 copies in a single day!

The reason why it can rise is purely because the previous works are falling, "Maybe I can really get a championship to play." ”

October 1st does not have the kind of super god to release a new work, and none of the works or writers on the list have the ability to rule, this is like a big melee in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who can reach the top is not visible for the time being!

The rest of the friends either closed their eyes and recuperated, or held the book and read it carefully, Zhang Chu held his chin and thought seriously at this time, what should he do to stimulate sales?

The first method must be to announce a discount, but the new book will be discounted as soon as it is listed, and it is estimated that the publisher and the bookstore will not agree with it, and the discount is actually killing the stamina.

The second method is to make the majority of readers have a strong interest in this story, they may not be interested in the diary written by Tang Seng, but they are very interested in the inside story of Journey to the West.

It just so happens that "Journey to the West Diary" is actually not so sunny, and it talks about cruel things, such as the gods and Buddhas in the world are not as we believe, with compassion and charity.

They are more like things that grandparents used to scare children when they were disobedient when they were children, such as ginseng fruit, which is a fruit fed by people!

The gods and Buddhas control everything, and if they try to resist, they will definitely be suppressed by their joint efforts.

Sun Wukong's brain Heavenly Palace was suppressed for five hundred years, and after coming out, he forgot the previous one, and the white bone spirit exchanged his life for Sun Wukong's short memory.

uses a funny surface like a joke to cover up a reflection and a turn, refract reality, and witness the world.

Since you want darkness and subversion, then I will give him a more subversive Journey to the West story!
